  • Stephen Moir

    I found the MJ Future Forum providing a great blend of key speakers, insights and networking opportunities. The smaller nature of the event in terms of the total audience and the 24 hour approach to the whole event made this well worth attending.

    Great opportunity to hear about some of the most pressing challenges LAs are facing and what some areas are doing about it. An opportunity for leaders of place to come together and talk about the hard stuff.
